Visual character design

The series has often featured male characters with slightly effeminate characteristics, as well as female characters with slightly tomboyish, but still feminine, characteristics. This trend has generally increased as the series evolved. These characters are usually teenagers, which some critics have interpreted as an effort on the part of the designers to ensure the players identify with them. At the same time, some female characters have been increasingly designed to wear very revealing outfits. Square Enix has stated that a more rugged looking hero had been considered for Final Fantasy XII but had ultimately been scrapped in favor of Vaan, another effeminate protagonist. The developers cited scenaristic reasons and target demographic considerations to explain their choice. For Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix settled on a female main character, described as a "female version of Cloud from FFVII." This aspect of Final Fantasy can also be seen in Sora, the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts, a crossover series featuring Final Fantasy and Disney characters.

Um Sonho Psycodelico

From the north, from the south,and from the east and from the west,we invoke our ancient gods and goddesses.Bless our conjuration,for we have gathered from lands afar.Enhance our perception,through these enchanted plants bizarre.Let us see the ganja kingdoms.Let us dive into hash clouds.Use our (psychedelically) tainted tonguesto caress Shiva's writhing marbled body.In this sacred desert ground,our tribe surrounded by purple shroud.Ram-skinned drums stirring ghosts.The time has come to welcome our host.Deeply breathe the magickal incense,of grounded opium and frankincense.Let the smoke take you to fluorescent fields,where magnificent creatures lay down their shields.An orgasmic celebration of flesh ensues.Our eyes luster with desires' hue.Copulation grins upon my face,as we cum all over this fuckin' place.In the sky the dragon flies.The fabled reptile with ruby eyes has cometo take us for a ride across the phantasmagoric astral sky.Mystical secrets from the past,answers for questions from the centuries asked.Reach out to touch the universe,embrace the beauty beyond this earth.And we rode the cosmic snake past the gates of mortality,
